Review on Tekware Welding Helmet with Advanced Power Darkening Technology by Jacob Diego

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good for the money and for beginners but if you are a pro buy accordingly

This is a welding hood for less than $100, it is what it is. In use it does what it's supposed to and has enough adjustment options to make it comfortable for everyone. It fogs up: I added a small neoprene flap under the bezel that covers the top of my nose to keep my breath from fogging up. helps. The neoprene is just enough to stay out of the way when the hood is pulled up and just covers the bridge of the nose and cheekbones when pulled down, dividing the hood in two. There are 2 removable batteries in the front panel: this contradicts what the seller said in the buyer's question. (2-CR2450, like most other lens hoods) What I don't like is the lack of interchangeable lenses. It comes with two extra outer shields, with no extra inner parts, and the seller is basically saying he won't be wearing them. Had I seen this beforehand I would have chosen the other option as I weld daily and replacement screens (also called lenses by some) are a must.

Pros
  • ✓ Great for TIG MIG MMA
Cons
  • Questionable buy for seniors
